Did anyone hear today ?

I have not... I scheduled a polite an email to send tomorrow morning basically saying I need to have a decision that day or I will have to go ahead and accept a spot/put a deposit on another program.

Sent an email this morning. No response. No decision in the portal.  Tbh I'm ready to accept one of my other admissions but considering I paid the application fee a decision would be nice....

Not to derail the thread but Yale and Penn. Columbia was my top choice for a while but Penn rly sold me and both gave me merit money so. I hope Columbia still gives me a decision tho I worked hard on that application and paid the fee...

That's amazing ! Congrats to you. But 100 percent. The application took forever. It was super tedious and wanting a decision is justifiable after all that work.

Hi, for any students offered admission, has anyone received any updates on financial aid? or heard back regarding the PLAN scholarship?

You are right, we deserve to know the outcome of our applications. The two weeks notice we received from them has ended and we are in March now. Frankly, I do not know what to think of all this. Columbia University....

I haven't, and was offered admission nearly a month ago. I also have another school that has yet to give me financial aid info weeks after admission. 
Columbia had said somewhere that financial aid could be released up to 3/14, when my decision is due. The other program that admitted me also said to expect financial aid info mid-March.

Trying to be patient! 🙂 fingers crossed we get decent financial aid!

The email says their "goal" is to provide everyone with a package by 3/14, meaning it could take longer 😬.
